Everyone has the right to request access to personal data about themselves stored in the Schengen Information System (SIS II).
In order to successfully carry out border control at the external borders of the EU, the Schengen Information System has been established on behalf of all Member States, containing data on specific individuals and objects.
The right to be informed of their own personal data is guaranteed to every individual. In this way, the individual is enabled to control the personal data stored about him in the Schengen Information System.
Everyone also has the right to correct content-inaccurate data or delete unlawfully entered data about themselves in the Schengen Information System.
The Schengen Information System is an electronic database on:
- certain individuals who are prohibited from entering the Schengen area;
- individuals wanted for deprivation of liberty or extradition,
- missing persons, and
- objects such as stolen vehicles, vessels, aircraft and documents, money, weapons, marked money originating from criminal acts, etc.
The police, who carry out border control and procedures with foreigners, administrative units when issuing permits for foreigners, consular offices when issuing visas, administrative units and authorized motor vehicle registration companies have access to the data in it.
Through their national systems, countries also enter this data into the common database or inquire about it in it.
